The product is easy to use and distribution list is better than others I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Approval wait times can sometimes take awhile in quick turn situations but they do try to work with you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using PR Newswire for almost 3 years now and have been extremely satisfied with the coverage of our press releases. The team is especially knowledgeable and helped us get the biggest bang for our buck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sending out a press release can get a little spendy, and the contract system is a little unforgiving, making it difficult to pivot until your contract expires.Adding a picture or going a little over word count hits you with additional charges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The online portal is super easy to use and the visibility into release pickup is easy to just pass onto clients. But the most amazing thing (in this day and age) is the support team - I've had to get a hold of them on a number of occasions and anyone that picks up the phone is both knowledgeable and wonderfully helpful.

Sometimes the pages take a long time to load, and it would be really great if there was a way to gauge the 'success' benchmark of releases for 'like' releases - the client always asks for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cision PR Newswire allows organizations of any size get their news out and potentially in big-name papers. Their team is great about getting back to people quickly and helping to provide best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it's a little unapproachable for people who haven't done press releases before, but if you set up a call and ask for assistance, they are helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The knowledge that there are real people on the other end reviewing my releases and setup is very helpful. I appreciate the verification steps where you have to check in with the customer service team before issuing a release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very expensive. By the time you've added your targeted lists, logos and copy you're well on your way to $1000 per release. We don't issue many releases thankfully but this certainly has a bearing on when we decide to bypass a release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the dashboard and all that it offers to view -- billing/invoicing, historical data, and evolving results of any release. I have not used a competitor product in recent years, but I don't intend to anytime soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything that I particularly dislike about it. I wish I was able to subscribe to even more capabilities at this time. There are some smaller industry publications that pick up my release that do not show up on the Cision reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PR is so dynamic, and Cision/PRN is always ready to happily update and evolve plans to meet needs as they might change. That's not the case with other wire services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PRN can have a sticker shock if you're new to Marketing/PR and using wire services. It is apparent through the numerous publishers that call me to make sure what I sent is what I want. Often they offer great suggestions on the spot and make the release even better, and pickups are proof of that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Cision PR Newswire very easy to use. I had never submitted a press release before and was shown the system once, and I haven't had an issue. I very much like that you're able to save your settings to make it easier for the next time. Assuming you only have one main topic/target, you really only have to set things up once and then each time you submit, it's a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I can think of that I somewhat dislike is actually something that, if it wasn't available, I think I'd be very sad! Because of the nature of the business, the calls to verify the releases can often come late at night, which took a minute to get used to. Still, again, if it weren't possible to submit a press release the night before, that would be a whole different issue, so it's really not a big deal. The alternative wouldn't be worth it!

I like the customer support aspect and the fact that I know someone will call me before the press release goes live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's quite costly to add a logo or any image file to a press release, and I wish the contract was more flexible as we don't always have news to share within a certain amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cision PR Newswire is easy to use. All submitted press releases have done very well and allowed us to easily maximize our marketing returns with low effort. The staff works around the clock to meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cision PR Newswire is fairly expensive. It can easily run you a lot if you're trying to publish a national release. There is an additional cost for images, logos, and reach on a wider scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
